TUlott Tliat f, Skilled Labor May be Brought u v Provided Tlmt Labor of Like Kind ;Caiuioi bo Did lu This Country Mr:. C W. Tlllett returned yester flay morntng from iWaslUna-tonty, where he had been to , investigate some-matters In conectlon with the now celebrated , Immigration cases. When ; asked by a reporter: whether he. had seen any, of the government offloiajs, Mr.; Tlllett repllear , ' -, "Tea, Senator 1 Slmmona accom panled me to the Department of Jus tlce and secured for me an Interi view with Mr. Coeley, who is Assist ant Attorney General, and with Mr. Lamed, who is Assistant United States Immlrratlon Commissioner. I was surnrlsed. ? by the way. ' to - flnd Mr, Cooley such a young- man, apparently about 10 years of age. He treated ma 'with great consideration and dis cussed Immigration canes very freely. Mr. Lamed la reputed to ' bo one of the best posted men ltf the country on -the immigration laws and he was nresent and took some part In the discussion." '' "Can you tell The Observer." asked the reporter, "what views tnese gov ernment officials have as to the mean lnc of the provisions In the Immlgra tlon act of 10S which provided that skilled labor may be Imported, If la bor of that kind unemployed oannot be found in this country 7" "I was much gratified," replied Mr Tlllett "to learn that there was so little difference between us as to the meaning of this law. It Is true that I could not see bow there could be much diversity of opinion as to the meaning of the statute which is ap parentiy so plain, and yet I did not see how tho government could expect to win the cases If the law receivea the interpretation which wo had giv en it The language of the statute Is 'Skilled labor may se Imported, if labor of the kind, unemployed, cannot be found In this country.' As applied to the facts df our case, Mr. Cooley told me that bis opinion was that this statute meant that If the cotton mills of the. country could not find. In this country, cotton spinners and weavers reasonably available,, at reasonable rate of wageB, that they had the right to Import weavers and spinners from abroad for the purpose of operating tho Rptndlc and looms which would othcrwlxn be Idle; and that. If It should develop in our csss that our clients had Imported these English men and women under these condi tions, they were not guilty." "Really." continued Mr. Tlllett. "the only substantlaf difference between- the view expressed by tho At torney General and our own view is u.on the question of what the law yers call the burden ef proof. Mr. Cooley and Mr. Lamed expressed the opinion that ths burden of proof would be on us to show that there could not be found In this country spinners and weavers unemployed and seeking employment at reasonable wages; while on the other hand, wo contend that we are not required to prove a negative and that It will be on the government to prove that there are laborers of this kind In this coun try unemployed, reasonably available, at reasonable rate of wages." "What Is the status of these cases now?", asked the reporter. "There has been no change." said Mr. Tlllett "In the status of the cases except perhaps that District Attor ney Holton Is to be given more com plete control ot the cases. Mr. Coo ley told me that he expected to put these cases absolutely in Mr. Holt's hands with instructions to him to Co what he thought best with them af ter his own Investigation, both as to the points of laws and at to the facts Involved in the cases. It ought to be gratifying to any North Carolinian to learn of the high esteem In which Mr. Holton Is held In the office of Vie At torney General. I am sure that the Department of Justice will be entire-' 1y satisfied with whatever he does i with the cases aner ne nas investi gated the law for himself and ascer tained whether he has facts sufficient to sustain the cases."

There was some talk of a com promise at one time, but . all . offers and suggestions of compromise have been entirely withdrawn on ' both sides, i : "Hold on." said Mr. Tlllett, . would like to add one word. I am fniiv lwari that ordinarily It is a great breach of propriety for a law. yer to discuss his cases In the news. rmrfr. I have thouaht however, that, as these cases are of such vital and widespread Importance to the public, it was not amiss for me to tell what the -opinion of the Attorney General Is. He Is a public officer and his opinions upon public statutes are of the greatest interest.- oi course, however, every one knows that when Judge Boyd cornea to try these cases he will not be bound by the opinion of the Attorney General, nor by the oDlnlon of Mr. Cansler. Mr. Guthrie and - rrrfgelf . but he will decide the case according to his own opinion as a judge after hearing the argument of the lawyers." PERfiOXAIi. A. ot the Mr. and Mrs. C. N. G.
